Your squats look fine to me depthwise Chris. Squatting in front of a mirror can be a bit confusing as regards depth though.

I think you are right in saying that it is hard to judge depth when looking in the mirror. In future I will get someone to film me from the side which I have done previously rather than from behind like today.

Something just felt off on bench press today but I can't quite put my finger on what exactly. Strict press was a little disappointing but not too catastrophic. Onwards.

Saying that I felt like crap this session would be a hell of an understatement. It was just never going to happen today. Just one of those days I guess. I'm very much looking forward to a day off tomorrow.

Extremely happy with how today's session went. A pb jerk to start off with and only just missed the 110 as I didn't get under quite quickly enough but should be there next time I attempt it. The 215 deadlift is the heaviest I've done since October so I'm very happy about that and it was a good clean rep without any hitching. I was tempted to push for a pb as I thought there was a possibility of it being there but was told not to. Instead I did 2 sets of 3 reps of 180kg, all of which were quality reps.

Some ridiculous triceps exercise Brownbear made me do.
I was very pleased to get a squat pb in today. Benching was a little disappointing but I'm going to put that down to being a bit tired after the squatting. I think that this will be my last session for 3 or 4 weeks as I'm back home as have various things to do which will unfortunately take up a lot of my time and are definitely more important than lifting. Not a bad way to end the years training I guess hitting a pb squat eh!

Thanks Bill. This video put to rest any worries I had about my squat depth.

For a first session in 4 weeks, today wasn't too bad. Bench press was as expected, a little down but nothing too drastic. I will be repping it from next session. On the push press I was trying a new technique. I was gripping the bar in the same place but getting my elbows up a lot higher. It worked very well until the 90kg when the bar slipped forward a bit. I am undecided as to whether or not it works better than my previous technique. I will go back to my old technique next time and see which I prefer.

I dont know whats different about your push press technique there to usual, but that looks inefficient to me

Normally I don't have my elbows any where near as high. I thought I would try and use the same technique as I would in a jerk but for the push press. Mixed results really.

someone better placed may correct me, but my opinion is that high elbows is bad on push press.
i like the forearms to be straighter or at least in the direction you want to push the bar.
the people ive seen push press with elbows high (andy and sophie in particular) lose their wrists as soon as they dip. That happened to you there. This is inefficient and makes you fight the bar when trying to impact force upon it

Andy said that to me but he did also say that he found it harder when his elbows were directly under the bar. I have to say it did feel better up until the 90kg press. I will decide next session which technique I prefer.
